What Is ALVARION-DEVICE-MIB?

ALVARION-DEVICE-MIB is a vendor-private base MIB from Alvarion covering common device-level management for its wireless broadband access equipment (subscriber units and base stations). It provides a device discovery table that catalogs each managed unit by serial number, MAC address, and IP address, alongside notification-enable objects for state changes, authorization failures, security failures, firmware failures, and configuration failures. This makes it explicitly useful for monitoring device software/firmware health and operational state: coDevDisState reports each device's current status, and the four failure-notification toggles govern whether the system alerts on firmware corruption, authentication problems, security violations, or configuration errors. The ALVARION-DEVICE-MIB MIB is typically the first module loaded when integrating a new Alvarion device family into a network management system, since it establishes the baseline device discovery and failure-notification framework other Alvarion MIBs build upon. It is a foundational MIB expected to be used alongside product-family-specific Alvarion MIBs that expose radio-level and interface statistics. It is typically deployed at a wireless ISP or WiMAX/point-to-multipoint network operations center managing a fleet of remote Alvarion radios.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALVARION-DEVICE-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • device discovery/inventory list
  • device operational state
  • authorization failure events
  • security failure events
  • firmware failure events
  • configuration failure events

Supported Devices

  • Alvarion wireless broadband/WiMAX subscriber unit or base station

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll coDeviceDiscoveryTable and inspect each coDeviceDiscoveryEntry's coDevDisState alongside coDevDisSerialNumber and coDevDisIpAddress to confirm a remote subscriber unit is online and correctly provisioned. Enabling coDeviceFirmwareFailureNotificationEnabled ensures a trap fires if a firmware upgrade fails on a given unit, which is critical for fleets of devices upgraded remotely. A device dropping out of the discovery table or reporting a non-normal coDevDisState signals a connectivity or hardware problem in the field.

FAQ

How does a WiMAX operator use ALVARION-DEVICE-MIB to keep track of remote Alvarion radios?
It provides a device discovery table cataloging each managed Alvarion subscriber unit or base station by serial number, MAC address, and IP address, plus an object (coDevDisState) reporting each device's current operational status. In a wireless ISP NOC managing a large fleet of remote radios, this gives a single place to inventory devices and check whether each one is currently reachable and functioning.

What kinds of failures can ALVARION-DEVICE-MIB alert on for Alvarion wireless equipment?
It defines four notification-enable toggles governing whether the device raises SNMP traps for authorization failures, security failures, firmware failures, and configuration failures. Enabling these lets a NOC get proactive alerts on things like firmware corruption or authentication problems on a remote base station, instead of only discovering the issue when a subscriber link drops.
